We told you De Leon and Pajoy could do this

In case you missed it, check out the scouting reports we offered on D.C. United before the match.

Look at the three Players to Watch we highlighted, and you’ll see that we predicted some of this could happen.

Forward Lionard Pajoy – Pajoy is playing Lone Ranger up top for D.C. He makes some very sneaky runs. If the Dynamo aren’t careful and pay attention, he could burn them. He straddles the fine line between on-side and offside, and it can pay off if defenders fall asleep.

M/F Chris Pontius – The technical forward-midfielder has been one of the most impressive players this postseason. He’s very dangerous when he turns and runs at opponents with the ball, so the Dynamo must be very aware of his speed. He can shoot, pass or dribble.

M – Nick DeLeon, who scored the winning goal in the Eastern Conference semifinal against New York on Wednesday, is a leading candidate for MLS Rookie of the Year. He plays way beyond his year. Technically and physically strong, he has great vision and passes well.
